My first Inuyasha fic, so make it special! Actually it's an experiment,
just to see if I'll do well in the world of demons and time travelers. But
it'd sill be nice to get reviews!
~~~~~*~~~~~
Kagome Higurashi stomped angrily through the untrimmed meadow hands clenched tightly at her side. A scowl on her face she readjusted the strap on her quiver of arrows.
'That jerk!' she thought furiously, grinding the green grass below her shoes into a finer pulp. 'I can't believe he actually said that to my face!'
The teenaged time traveler suddenly felt the strong urge to throttle a certain white haired hanyou with her bare hands. She was also trying her hardest not to scream at the top of her lungs. But along with that rage she felt tears sting at her eyes. His words had hurt her as well, knowing the dirty truth, may just have been too much.
Inuyasha had never been the sympathetic type, or kind, or anything related to those words. But she knew deep, deep, down he could be a real softie. It was just getting through his layers gruff exterior that was the hard part.
Having mixed feelings about someone you loved and hated was one of the most confusing things in the world. Kagome absolutely despised that feeling. Still angry she pushed all the strength into trying to push the tip of her bow off to no avail.
Giving up, she let the tip of her bow drag along the grass as Kagome tried her best to see if she could get her anger to disband as she neared the Bone Eater's Well.
Nope.
Taking a huge breath she stood still and hunched her shoulders down.
'Just take calm down and count to ten. This is nothing your optimism can't handle,' she thought, smoothing out the air in front of her with her hands.
'One.'
All she had to do was go home and calm down. Then everything will be okay again
'Two.'
Surely that's all she needed.
'Three.'
A rustle of leaves.
'Four..'
Then she heard a soft thud sound in her ears.
'Fi-Five.'
Fear replaced her earlier anger rapidly.
'Six.'
After the thud she heard a loud growl.
Forgetting about her little countdown Kagome felt on the verge of panic. Slowly reaching over her shoulder for a stone tipped arrow, she set it in place in her bow.
Stretching the string back she could feel her own hands shaking.
While she waited for the cause of the noise to appear she heard a light giggle.
Kagome could feel her eyebrow go up, 'Should I be afraid of this thing?' she asked herself.
The emerald foliage before her rustled a few more times before revealing a little girl clad in an orange kimono.
Seeing this little child Kagome let her bow fall to her side and she showed a small smile.
"Hi," she greeted, "Are you lost?"
The little girl giggled, "No," she said, "Rin is not lost."
Kagome had the sudden thought that this little girl might not have a properly working mind if she thought she wasn't lost when she was walking around alone in the middle of the night.
"Hi I'm Kagome," she told Rin, kneeling down to her height she shook the little girl's hand.
The grin on Rin's face grew wider.
Forgetting about her earlier troubles Kagome smiled as well. That is, until she heard more movement in the shrubs. Her eyes grew wider at the sight of a disgusting green toad like creature appearing from the bush.
She looked back at the little girl, 'This couldn't be the little girl Inuyasha said Sesshoumaru had saved could it?' It seemed doubtful. The Lord of the Western Lands didn't seem like the kind of demon that would go around actually saving things when he could be killing them. She also didn't think it was possible Rin could survive even being near Sesshoumaru without dying a cruel death.
But here was that weird thing that always stuck to the demon like glue standing right in front of her.
All of a sudden she really wanted to be back at camp with Inuyasha and the others.
Rin pointed to Jaken, "See Rin isn't alone! She has Jaken and Sesshoumaru- sama with her!" She beamed again.
Kagome gulped but her attentions reverted back to the sickening toad who had abruptly shrieked out a sentence, "Rin you stupid child!" it cried, "Don't ever push me into the dirt and then smack my head with a stick ever again!"
That's when the ebony haired teen noticed a small red bump on Jaken's head, she smiled; it suited him.
Rin pouted, "But you were being mean to Rin."
Jaken scowled, "I was only telling you to never squeal around Sesshoumaru- sama, it's rude!"
Kagome frowned she stood up and glared down at the toad demon, "Hey toad! Don't talk to her like that!" she told him.
"Oh and who going stop me?"
One swift kick to the stomach sent Jaken flying back through the trees.
A cheerful laugh erupted from Rin. Kagome grinned and dusted her hands off each other.
But then a white figure emerged from the hidden path and Kagome found herself face to face with the Lord of the Western Lands himself.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin squealed, running to the demon's side and hugging his leg.
He ignored her and gazed up at the fifteen year old Kagome. Feeling her body move on reflex she found herself ready to fire an arrow at him at any moment.
"Don't come closer!" she yelled.
Sesshoumaru's face was left unscathed from emotion; he stared blankly at her.
Scared, Rin hid behind his leg but she still let a pigtail and an eye peek out.
Confidence flowing lightly through her veins Kagome stretched the string back farther as Sesshoumaru stepped closer.
"Foolish girl," he stated, "Surely you don't believe those arrows of yours can defeat me." A statement more then a question.
Kagome stood her ground and she put a frown on her face.
Standing in a clearing the small group were bathed in moonlight. Kagome had just realized that Sesshoumaru held a feminine beauty like none she'd seen before. She almost laughed to herself. It was almost funny to see a hardcore killing machine like Sesshoumaru being described with the words "feminine beauty".
But no matter how funny she found it, it would still be true.
"I've killed many strong demons with the strike of my arrows, don't think you'll be any different Sesshoumaru!" she warned.
Then she saw Sesshoumaru's ever so loyal servant stomp back into the clearing, he yelled at her, "Wench! How dare you think your pathetic arrows can even cause a scratch to Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Kagome glared at him, "And what makes you think that you stupid toad! I could kill you right now if I wanted to!"
Sticking his nose in the air Jaken replied with a huff, "You'd be dead before you pull back that string on your bow."
She rolled her eyes slightly, "Let me guess, it'll be your "Sesshoumaru- sama" who will be killing me?"
"Exactly."
Kagome smirked, 'That thing is so stupid."
After a moment of silence Jaken finally seemed to realize what she meant, "Hey!"
"Enough with your squabbling," Sesshoumaru commanded.
Feeling as if she was on a roll Kagome pushed her luck, "And you! Thinking just because you're so powerful and all that you think you can command me just like that?"
In the blink of an eye Kagome felt herself pinned to the park of the God tree Sesshoumaru's claws wrapped around her neck, applying slight pressure.
She heard Rin shriek in surprise.
She gulped, "Not so confident now."
Kagome didn't answer, 'Great going Kagome,' she thought sarcastically to herself, 'Go and open your big mouth just to get yourself killed.'
Staring into golden orbs akin to Inuyasha's Kagome felt the last seconds of her life tick away.
